Erh. Aside from my doubts about the placement of 'taso', I also don't get it.

It's from a movie or TV show I haven't seen yet. I didn't understand until I watched the youtube vid. I suppose if it wasn't for the context of a youtube video, one would have to be more verbose:

jan lawa pi kulupu esun li toki e ni: -jan Like, sina lukin taso e ijo li olin e ijo ni lon tomo pali mi anu seme?
jan pi nanpa tu li pilin e pilin pi ike kama li toki e ni: -mi olin e ilo suno.
jan lawa-ni li nasa tawa mi. sina olin kin ala olin kin e ilo suno? sina sona ala e nimi ante li toki taso e ni anu seme?
jan pi nanpa tu- kin la kin la mi olin e ilo suno. mi olin e ilo suno.

Yeah, without seeing the video it doesn't really work. Maybe someone should subtitle that clip in toki pona.

What clip? Please give a contact.
Instants later (having seen the connector) Oh, that clip! Like everything in Dinner for Schmucks (and its French original), this is not very funny and at least marginally offensive (not to mention the waste of at least some talents).

No strokes, please; a heart attack is enough for me.
